Coach Talk

yard crew
You know what, yard crew, we do appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
My Name Is Prince
Well, My Name Is Prince, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Starting multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 111 points... let's all assume it won't happen again and move on?
